Frances Pinter and David Percy have made an excellent documentary film about business models in the publishing world that use Creative Commons licenses.
Frances has been heading a CC-based publishing project in Africa. It is the Publishing and Alternative Licensing Model of Africa (PALM Africa), is based in Uganda, and South Africa, and she tells me the Ugunda project is going especially well. She also tells me she'll be soon expanding this idea into other publishing spheres, which is very exciting.
Percy is an award-winning film-maker, and so the production quality of the film is quite high. The film is 30 minutes long, with three 10 minute interviews (to fit into Youtube's ten minute max).
The interview with me covers a wide range of my background, from Lyris (which went fairly big, and I sold 2 years ago) to Magnatune and BookMooch.
Here is the interview with me:
